going into the gym mad is an elite level feeling

those are kilograms right?

my gyms dumbells are so hard to read the numbers so i grabbed 60s(thinking they were 50s) and was like why this s*** so heavy . Still cranked 8 reps

nah lbs bro

Gym during covid wave? Your balls are heavier than their heaviest dumbells

u not deadlifting a plate?? but squatting 205? Either your squats arent low enough or theres a mental/fear reason for that deadlift being so low

I mean I prolly could I just havent 1 rep maxed it but yeah man its bizarre I need to get my deadlift way up

LOL Deadlifting in 2020, you must be young. Everyone I know ever who had injuries working out did from Deadlifting. You can have a massive back without Deadlifting, it is imo the riskiest exercise you can do.

Bro i was showing my sister how to deadlift and on her first try she did one plate super easy. Never even done the motion or practiced form

She weigh 130

pretty much all gyms are back open in sydney

Damn yall I must be living in an alternate universe because in mine, there's a pandemic and going to the gym is one of the seemingly riskiest things you could probably do. Also, I am staying with my older vulnerable dad so maybe yall don't have those vulnerable issues

Not true, bench is the most injury prone.

Australia? Oooh okay, I guess perhaos it's not that bad as here in the US or UK

Yes perhaps but recovering from a torn pec or shoulder injury is nothing compared to the misery of having a messed up back.
Furthermore, you can get spotted on bench, and it's much easier to mess up the movement of a deadlift and tear your s*** up

No it’s not much easier to mess up a deadlift movement than benching which is clear since we just established benching is more injury prone. If you use proper form it’s very rare to f*** up the deadlift movement unless something unfortunate like a clip falls off/bar breaks down. Which is super unlikely unless you’re in the strength territory that less than 1% of people reach.

Almost any serious lifter has had pec/shoulder tears from benching and yes they’re more recoverable but I’ve never really heard of deadlift injuries. Don’t spread misinformation

You MUST be kidding, talking about spreading misinformation lmao. Does anyone avoid bench pressing, even with its risk of injury? No... Does anyone avoid Deadlifting with its risk of injury? SEVERAL people do, particularly within the popular YouTube fitness industry (e.g Hodgetwins and Chris Jones) .
Is there a debate around whether bench pressing is worth it because of its risk of injury? No. Is there a debate around whether Deadlifting is worth it because of its risk of injury? OF COURSE. JUST GOOGLE IT. I literally just typed in "is Deadlifting" and the first Google autosuggestion is "bad for your back". Now shut the f*** up.

Lmao you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about but go off. Love that you’re mad

bro is tweaking

bench is top one hardest and most dangerous movement simply because of how much there is to think about and the pressure it puts on your shoulders is not normal

But to actually answer your dumb ass. The majority of lower back injuries caused by the deadlift are the result of improper execution
Most people don’t deadlift properly. And do many people who care about hypertrophy avoid it? Yea because quite frankly it’s just not necessary to build a big back. But look at all the powerlifters who pull tons of weight with no issues because they actually utilize good form. The reason no one substitutes bench is because it’s the BEST chest builder. Look at powerlifting meets for example and you’ll literally see guys rip a pec or shoulder injury simply because of weight load and the explicitly compromising position of the bench press. My point is, no deadlifts aren’t a recipe for disaster and quite obviously are less dangerous than the bench for example. Do you have to do it? Well it depends on your goals, if it’s just getting big of course you can avoid it, but there’s an element of fun/sport and strength building in the deadlift that’s great

Yup. It’s literally such a compromising and unnatural position. Deadlift injuries are literally ALWAYS from trash form or equipment malfunction whereas you’ll see guys f*** up their chest on a bench even at powerlifting meets with 3 professional spotters

Ordered a bench, resistance bands and dumbbells. Not letting another national lockdown ruin my last two months of progress

how much u pay?

DOMS

hell yeah brother
